A Scotch Mine Horror.

GLASGOW, May n "a terrible explosion Of
iire-damp occurred in the tislsion coal pit at
Blantyre village in Lanarksi,ire, eight
miles from this city. by which about i85
miners were entombed in the pit The shaft
was blocked with debris caused by The ex-
plosion.
Forty-five miners who were imprisoned in
the upper seam Of the pit were rescued. but
one Of them died after having been brought
10 the suriacc The others are suffering
however. from The effects of the shock and
fire-damp.
Communication was opened dthisaflcrnoon
with the middle seam. and numbers Of the
miners entombcd there fall of whom were
supposed TO have been killed. have been res
eued alive, although much postrated from
the fire-danip Five Of the men found in
this seam were dead when the rescuers open
ed It.
The lowest seam in which the explosion
took place was reached too late to rescue any
of the miners who were at work there Not
one of the unfortInates was found alive
The total number of lives lost by the ex-
plosion is believed 10 be seventy-iive.
As soon as the fact Of The explosion became
known miners from all the neighboringcol-
lieries hurried to the scene to help in the
work of rescue.
The pithead has been surrounded ever
since the disaster by a large crowd of weeping
women and children
The Udston pit is situated in the most

The Governor, however, says No, and
We hope he viii stick to his determina-

averse to extra sessions: in party point
